A proper diet for your pet will mean a better mood, nicer coloring, and even a longer life. Making sure your bearded dragon is properly fed is not the easiest task, especially if you don’t have a lot of experience. In this post, we will go through a brief overview of what you should be feeding your bearded dragon.

Bearded dragons, like people, are omnivores and need a wide-ranging and balanced diet in order to stay healthy. This means eating anything from crickets to leafy green vegetables. These animals are at their best and healthiest when all of their dietary needs are being met. Never feed your bearded dragon wild crickets or other insects – they must be from a reputable seller, otherwise you run the risk of disease.

Especially in their adolescent years, protein is very important to bearded dragons. The ratio should be about 70:30 – 70% crickets and 30% fruits and veggies. Often, your bearded dragon doesn’t seem to want to eat anything other than crickets when they’re young. If this is the case try and feed them three times a day and take out any uneaten crickets after 10 minutes. Once your dragon is over a year old, they will begin eating a lot more fruits and veggies.
